Pastor Jay McCaig is a Florida native, born in Lakeland, and has served as pastor of Crossroads Baptist Church since 2016. He is married to his wife, Vee, and together they have three grown children and many grandchildren. Pastor Jay is a lifelong learner who has studied at Louisiana Baptist University and continues to take college classes because he believes preaching should be clear, practical, and firmly connected to real life.
